    Westport EMS sees influx in calls, decrease in volunteers

    The town of Darien and Westport Connecticut allows them and the town residents in those two towns don't object and even back them. It's why it's the only part of Connecticut that allows it but the rest of Connecticut doesn't or doesn't have a program that is similar to Westport and Darien...

    AEMT's, good Idea or Bad idea.

    That's why Tigger, I think AEMT's are great for Rural communities and even rural states like Alaska, New Hampshire, Vermont, Montana, and Maine. I am talking about towns in Northern New England states such as Fort Kent, Maine, Houlton Maine, Eastport Maine, Pittsburg New Hampshire, and Derby...

    AEMT's, good Idea or Bad idea.

    I would think AEMT's would be great in rural states and even in places like Alaska, Montana, Northern Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire. Suburbs, it depends on how far are you from a hospital or a Paramedic intercept. I'm just thinking, rural communities where it would take you a half hour to...

    AEMT's, good Idea or Bad idea.

    What's everyone's take on AEMT's, Good idea or Bad idea. To me, I think AEMT's are a good idea because they are great for rural communities in America who don't have access to a Paramedic. On top of that they are a great stepping stone for EMT's who want to go to Paramedic school with a...

    Westport EMS sees influx in calls, decrease in volunteers

    They do that in Darien Connecticut and have done it for 53 years and started it in 1970. Even the rich town of Darien Connecticut backs them and the town allows them. The Darien School board is fully on board and even allows the high school kids to respond to calls while in School. That's why...

    Westport EMS sees influx in calls, decrease in volunteers

    I know Darien EMS Post 53 allows High school EMTs to run calls while they are in school and they have the backing of the Town, High school, and School board. It's why I am all for High school students in their Junior and Senior standing to get their EMTs and even be allowed to run on calls...
